Exhibition Description:
Gretchen Charlton Art Gallery announces a CALL FOR ENTRIES to the Young Artists’ Works on Paper Exhibition.

This exhibition is open to all artists ages preschool through 5th grade within 100 miles of the Kankakee region. Bring your best works on paper in any style or medium (paint, collage, found items, etc). Artworks must not exceed 45” vertically or project off the wall more than 6”. Not eligible are coloring pages, functional pottery, jewelry, clothing, accessories, furniture, other primarily functional art, or time-art such as video and film.

We will do our very best to display all work submitted. Selection of artwork will be guided by space and aesthetic consideration for the overall exhibition.
